Hey folks,
While working on a frontend app, I ran into a common issue: the backend wasn’t ready yet. I needed a way to simulate APIs so I could keep building without being blocked.
That led me to build MycroCloud — a lightweight mock API platform with GitHub-based frontend deployment (something like a simplified AWS API Gateway + Vercel).
🧩 Key features
- Supports three types of API responses:
Static: Define static JSON/text responses. Supports Handlebars for dynamic templating based on request parameters.
StaticFile: Serve uploaded files (e.g., JSON, images).
Function: Run custom JavaScript serverless functions (like AWS Lambda-lite).
Other features:
Multiple storage options for data persistence: File, Object, Text, Variable
Request validation to enforce expected input formats
Authentication & Authorization via OpenID Connect
Log viewing & export for debugging and monitoring
GitHub integration for auto-deploying frontend apps on each push
